*Over the last decade the money appropriated to produce
the Redbook has decreased while the printing costs have continued to rise.
In order to continue to publish enough books to meet our statutory obligations
(schools, libraries, media and legislators), as well as provide an adequate
number for other interested individuals, businesses and government agencies,
we have decided not to include the precinct by precinct results of the 1998
general election in this edition of the Redbook. However, these results,
as well as the precinct by precinct results of the June 29, 1999 special
election on two proposed amendments to the Iowa Constitution will be published
in a separate booklet by the Secretary of State’s Office.
